Since you have the 250 with entire universes of character, and you are looking for something powerful, comfy and still capable, the FJR really does tick the boxes.

Warning though, it's heavy as sh*t at parking lot speeds. The weight disappears at anything more than 10mph, but man it's a beast.

(Pics are me and the old man taking the FJR and BMW out for a couple days through Shanendoah Valley.)
